Paul D Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Then a nice 9lb Thornback Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted June 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I thought I was doing well, then heard of James's Bass captures. Helen liked the look of the way the Smoothhound fought and decided to switch from mackeral bait to squid. The result was first drop a nice 13 lb 4 oz ( and that was def. the min weight ! ) Smoothhound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 OOOops Forgot to give my report Rich and I went west to Dancing ledge, struggled to get mackerel but got enough for bait and topped that up durinbg the course of the day. First drop I have a small thornback ray of around 5lb a good omen for the day thought i. From then on in it got slow. I did manage a 9lb3oz undulate and a 13 oz Cucko Wrasse, what a spectacularly beautiful looking fish, very tropical like. Also had a Bream of 2lb 8oz. So not a disaster but could have been a lot better. I'll let Rich tell of what he had. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Well done all for organising the comp Some nice fish were caught and I will add them to the book tonight when I see the full results list. Then I will send the results to the BFM for the suzuki comp. Nice Bass JP a Cracking couple of Tope, with Tom's just pipping Pete's Several nice Rays were caught The best being Duncans 14lb Undulate Humphrey and Neil had a couple of nice Blondes 20 and 21lb's And while on the subject of blondes Helen had a very good smoothound, nice one girl still showing Paul how easy it is then. We went out into the chop on Friday night to Swanage, only small wrasse and mackeral in the bay. As dark approched we moved out to the whitehouse grounds, Sam had an Undulate of 13lb 8oz, Daniel had a Pout of 2lb 8oz and I had LSD to 2lb 8oz after midnight I managed 1 eel of 29lb before we called it a night. Back out early on Sunday, started badly when I could not find a wreck given to me by divers last week on OSBG36 numbers. ( I had converted them on the BSAC site ) but it is small and I could not find it, I have a choice of 5 OSGB 36 on the Lowrance and did not know which one to pick, Any Ideas???? We changed plans and ran to the banks, Sam had a small Blonde of 10lb As the tide was raelly running on the ebb we tried Dancing Ledge with no Luck then went out to a wreck on the end of St Albans Ledge. There were so many pout that we could not keep a bait on the wreck for more than about a minute before they ripped it up. a small bait lasted seconds, the pout were to big for bait and to small to record most about 2lb. We baited with them to make the baits last. Sam hooked a few large fish that either got back to the wreck or came off 1/2 way up. the cause was probably small eels and large baits . eventually at the start of the flood we had one of 19lb Nice day to be out, shame that more big fish did not appear. I had told the boys that I did not think it was worth targeting Tope or Bass because of the specimen weight for these species, 1st a Bass 2nd a Tope shows what I know Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
